They say that if you are smart, beautiful, charming, and most of all, if you believe in yourself, you can have any man you want. Then again, are these characteristics enough to keep him? If you are not sure about it either, here are 10 tricks that will help you to make him your dog…

• Make him jealous.

This is an old trick that never goes out of fashion. When you go out with him, always be well dressed; many other guys are going to be staring at you, for sure! Don’t be afraid to show your fabulous self off; talk to his friends and don’t hesitate to flirt with other men a bit.

• Sorry, I have plans.

Do not be always available for him. Show him that you have many other things going on in your life; he is not the center of your world. On the contrary, you have many friends to please and much work to do.

• Don’t answer all his phone calls

Even if you are home, let the phone ring for a while before answering it. Sure, you can make up some excuses to justify why you didn’t answer immediately. You can tell him that you were in the middle of something. If he just calls once and then he stops, don’t buck up to call him back. Let him wonder: “is she home? Is she out?” Sooner or later, he will call again.

• This woman is a mystery

Let him believe that. It’s true that men get more excited with mysterious women. And it’s easy for you to be one of them. Just don’t tell him much about your past; when he asks, answer him with the question: “are you always that curious?” Don’t bring him to your house from the first dates and don’t tell him what you do on Wednesday evenings (you may go to the beauty parlor, but let him believe that you are an FBI agent).

• Don’t get mad at him no matter what

If you want him to think of you as an independent woman, act like one. Don’t demand anything from him. Don’t ask him where he goes and with who, if he doesn’t tell you first. Don’t get mad at him because he is late. This will spoil your image, and instead of keeping him, you will lose him.

• This weekend belongs to my girlfriends

Don’t forget that the most important people in your life are your friends. So, try to spend some weekends with them. This will remind him that his is not the center of your life plus you will have fun for sure. After all, you see him every day, but you haven’t gone out with your girlfriends in so long.

• I know everyone in town

Make him believe you are popular. This is easy. Take him to places to hang out regularly. Everybody will know you there; so, you will feel comfortable, you will feel famous and he will feel like he has gone out with a celebrity. Everybody wins!

• How gay is your gay friend?

It’s always helpful if you have a gay friend who makes your boyfriend believe that he might be bisexual. Tell your gay friend to drop hints about how great you look and how easily some one could fall in love with you. Reliable trick, always works!

• Compromise? No, thanks!

Do not say always yes to him. And do not compromise right away. It’s not only better for you to play hard to get, but there are some things you don’t want to give up for anybody, including him. So don’t.

• Want him to be your dog? Be his kitty!

This should be rule one. Men may like beautiful, powerful and independent women, but a coy smile will make them beg for you. Read Marilyn Monroe’s biography and start acting it out!

My heart hurts for you. I deitnfiely understand the unspoken dog/human bond and couldn’t imagine having to give away my pup. I hope you can find him a new home soon and I know it will be the most perfect home where he will be happy!

I know you got a lot of shit for this comment. But all you did with that comment was make a hyperbole of this article, just changing the demographic to men; specifically the equal male-counterpart personality of the type of woman who uses these kind of tactics.
Niovi Moore, if she uses these tactics, is a cruel and manipulative person.
I'm sure thats what you were trying to say by making that comment. (4 years ago, talk about your past coming to bite you in the ass :P )

This is stupid..woman should never have a guy be under them..a relationship works when two people are on equal ground not playing fetch!!if I ever treated any of my exs like that they would have been exs because they wanted to not because I ended it..lame..

what stupid advice. If I loved someone and they pulled this crap it would make me run for the hills!
What about emotional maturity. ok, I realize you've given up on looking for a real man, but go around like this and chances are he'd pass you right by and leave you for all the other hopeless hounds.
Nothing beats a relationship where both people can just be themselves and be happy being together!

Very helpful post. Very clear commentary and suggested phrasing are most impressive, as are his and your generosity in sharing this explanation and example. I would also encourage everyone to bookmark this page to your favourite service to help spread the word. Thanks

I love my boy friend because he is very laid back and honest with me. He thinks i am amazing because i love that about him. I have never before felt so sure about anyone. It wasn't like that at the beginning of course. We had little trust issues. But we learned our lesson NO GAMES if you are not ready to be played on as well. Why would any Female want a DOG as her man? or Why would any male want a BITCH as his woman? I agree with most of the comments that said " You should be real if you want real back" as well as " respect is a two way street". I just hope my comment would make everyone think about what they are doing.
Thank You

HERS: Absolutely absurd. You can't expect love with tricks like these, and no woman wants a dog for a partner. Beastiality isn't the coolest thing in the world you know.
HIS: The woman who wrote this whole thing probably had so many men destroy here in her relationships that she was throughly scarred. Or she must love dominating her men because speaking from experience, that whole domination thing, the man will eventually just get bored and find one that is his partner, not his boss.

I think this article is stupid. A woman that acts like that will surely lose her boyfriend... :/This really makes no sense to be mysterious and never to answer the phone and to make him jelous... like you are not his girlfriend but some slutty girl that doesn't give a **** if you are or not with that guy. If you want a male dog just buy one... I'm a girl and think that such act of a girl would be ridiculous. People shouldn't act! They should show how they feel and what they feel towards they girl/boyfriend. Acting like bitches will get you nowhere (for girls and guys)

This applies to men too.. not just to women. I went bonkers for a guy that did 90% of all this. This is, after a while you get bored of pretending, and you act the way you really are and then, he'll lose interest...

ChuckAugust 2, 2011 @ 12:08 amA thoucing story. Thanks for rescuing Alex those many years ago.Just yesterday we were at our kennel picking up our two mutts, one a rescue of 3 years, and a couple were trying to get an aging greyhound out of their car.About 15 years old also and this couple had never had a vacation but were trying to take a short one. We helped them unload “Gracie” and assured them the kennel was the best in the business (they are) and not to worry about ‘Gracie”. They had tears in their eyes when leaving but I’m sure “Gracie” is fine.

Hello there, I found your website by way of Google even as searching for a related matter, your
web site came up, it seems good. I've bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.
Hello there, simply was aware of your blog via Google, and found that it is truly informative. I'm going to be careful for brussels.
I'll be grateful for those who continue this in future. A lot of other people will likely be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
though you relied on the video to make your point.
You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something
informative to read?

EVERYONE WAS ON A PIMP HIGH BUT HONESTLY IF YOU LOVE SOME ONE, AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE IN LOVE, DROP THE GAMES AND BE REAL. NOT WITH THEM ONLY BUT YOURSELF. IF YOU WANT A 50 YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH YOUR SOUL MATE LISTENING TO PEOPLE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THAT IS YOUR FIRST MISTAKE. REACH OUT TO REAL COUPLES BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN, YOU WILL DIE ALONE OR....WITH YOUR SOUL MATE.
